A farmer uses a sledgehammer to take down a massive concrete silo from the bottom up. It's the first—and, hopefully, the last—time he attempted such a project.

The YouTube video can be viewed here. (Warning: Contains language one might expect in just such a situation.)

Don't Show Diane

With half of its base busted out, the silo manages to stay upright for a few seconds before crashing to the ground, sending the farmer running for his life and unleashing a concrete debris field where it once stood.

The men were surprised at how the silo "kind of hung in the air" before falling.

After catching his breath, the farmer says, "I thought that was going to go a lot further, didn't you?"

"It kind of hung in the air there for awhile," the cameraman responds.

Once they confirmed that no one was hurt, the farmer and cameraman celebrate the accomplishment, before deciding it's probably a good idea to "not show that one to Diane."

Amazingly, no one was crushed by the tons of concrete debris.

These guys got pretty lucky, but demolishing a large structure is usually best left to professionals.
